Abstract
This article investigates the performance of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) modified with 15 wt% Cu (II) chelate of bissalicylaldehyde-ethylenediamine, a type of Schiff base copper complex that has antibacterium and antitumor activity, as a potential artificial hip joint material. The modified UHMWE demonstrated excellent tribological and biocompatible properties, and a higher wear resistance, a better thermal conductivity and increased deformation resistance as compared to pure UHMWPE.
